For example to teach your dog to come upon command just stand a few steps away from the dog and say “Come”. Than slightly pull the leash – this will be a signal for your dog that it should come to you. If the dog does it right – praise it. Repetition is the key to success – dogs have a sense to remember things that happen is specific sequence, it will soon make a connection between the voice command, the act and the nice feeling (the praise) afterwards. The same method can be used to teach your dog to the “sit” or “off” commands.
